On cruises around the world and on life-changing tours to Israel and beyond, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with these artists, experiencing first-hand their hearts for the Kingdom, their generosity with fans, and their passion for their craft. They inspire us on a regular basis and we are so proud of their work. Congratulations!
